Visit with Val and Tonto in Metheun Mass Farm

Today was a chilly day.  I have been coordinating with Val to go visit Tonto and hang out with her for weeks.  After Cassie was hurt and then all the holidays its been almost impossible.  We have been working to coordinate the visit.  January 11 we finally pulled it off. Its a Sunday and I had gone over to see Duke yesterday and have a great visit.  Now I have Sunday to see Tonto.  I drove up to Val's house in Nashua and we left from there.  Its cold out.  The ride to Tonto's farm was very nice.  We went in and out of little towns by the Pelham Inn and many more places where people are out on the lakes ice fishing and skating.   Pelham area was very nice, little farms and nice spread out land with people who have horses.
The farm was very near Lindsay's house, Val said.  It has ducks, goose, little minis and was at one time a place for a few beautiful Gypsy horses.  Val said there are 10 that are renting from this nice lady, her daughter and husband.
We walked around and met some of the other horses.  There were many. Val said she can't take pictures, touch any of the horses, and I may need to sign a waiver to be here.  None of that happened. 
I took some pictures and touched a couple of the horses. Petted the sweet Gypsy horse next to Tonto.  He was so cute. I think his name is Beau.  We spent time with Tonto finally and then Val brought him in for the night and some food.  His stall is very nice.  They all got new bedding, fresh.  The area that Tonto has to roam is about the size of 1/2 of my backyard.  He is able to walk around with a nice wood fence and he has a friend next to him, Wrigley, he is Lindsay Hanigan's horse.  
We stayed for a while and then drove back to Val's.  we are going to plan to get together soon for a couple of drinks. Im looking forward to it.
